2013 In Review....

It's time again to say goody to another year gone. This year seemed to just fly by! 2013 had it's good times and bad times like every year does I'm sure. Let's look back and see some highlights from my year....

I sprained my ankle pretty bad. But it's pretty much back to normal now.

I had a great 29th Birthday Luau.

We broke the World Record for Largest Pub Crawl for CFC.

My Grandpa passed on Sept 4th. :(

We celebrated our 3 year Anniversary.

My mom was diagnosed with COPD.

We went to Cabo, MX again for the 3rd.

I got a new tattoo in memory of my Grandpa.

I upgraded my DLSR camera.

We added a shed to our backyard.

Now it's time to see what 2014 holds for us!!

I haven't set any goals for 2014, not sure if I will or just play to day by day and see what comes of it.....

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

I hope everyone had a great time bringing in the new year!!

Let 2013 start out as a great year and I hope everyone had a great 2012!!

2012 coming to an end....

2012 is coming to an end. This has been a fast year and a great one well at least for us! I hope 2013 has lots of exciting things in our future. :)

It's been a long time since I have posted about my goals from 2012. Now that the year is ending let's see where my goals stand that I set last year at this time. :)

• Organize the House  - When we lived in the town-home I did lots of reorganizing stuff and it helped out so much and I continued to keep stuff organized since we have moved into our new home. There is some things I would like to get organized but that will continue into 2013 to get those few things done. 

• Eat Better & Work-out  - This started out right and I continued to do my best to keep on this as the year went on. I have been doing the Special K diet with meal bars for breakfast and shakes for lunch. Dinner we have been doing better about planning out better meals. This will continue into 2013.  

• Organize all photos into Photo Books -I did finish all my books and got them ordered. They turned out great! I still have a few photos to add to the 2012 book and then it will be ready to be ordered and I can start on my 2013 book! 

• Build up our savings account  - Our savings account is doing great! We had it built up for months now and haven't had to take any out till just recently. Which was okay because it was for Christmas food that we needed so it was all good. We will work on putting that money back at the beginning of 2013. 

• Buy a House - This was a huge success and we moved into our new home in August. 

• Continue pursuing Photography  - This was slow this year but I did get some shoots in and enjoyed everyone I did. I will continue to work on this more in 2013. :)

• Reading - I read so much this past year it's crazy! I really enjoyed all the books I have read and I look forward to reading more in 2013. 

I haven't set any goals for 2013 yet and I'm not sure if I'm going to or not. Some of my goals from 2012 are going to roll over to 2013, so I guess I have some set. 

If I would set any goals for 2013 it would be to get some stuff done around the house. I have some little things that I would like to get done in at the beginning of the year.  One thing for sure I would like to do is put pictures all over our hallway! 

I hope everyone had a great 2012 year and are looking forward to 2013. 

Enjoy yourself tonight and be safe! 

We will be staying in tonight and hanging out at home! :)

Bringing in 2012!

I hope everyone celebrated the New Year safe and had a good time. We don't like to go out so we stayed home and my sister and her boyfriend came over. We hung out made dinner, played Rock band, Phase 10 and Wii. Just a low key night with family, it was a good night. I really enjoyed bringing in the new year with my hubby and my sister...and of course her boyfriend he is basically part of our family. :) We had snack throughout the night, we had cheese ball, Oreo balls, cheese, pepperoni and crackers. I did make it till midnight but I was fast asleep by 12:15am.  LOL I was up long enough for my kiss and cheers our champagne then I was out.

Ready for the toast at midnight

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Cheers to a new year!!! 

The End of 2011

I can't believe 2011 is over! This year went by fast, crazy. I'm excited to see what 2012 has awaiting for us. :) Another year and new beginnings.
I set a few goals for myself at the beginning of 2011 and I feel pretty good that I accomplished them.
One goal that I had was to open my own website for all my cards, invites and more. I can say I got this up and running and am very happy that I finally got this done. Please visit Courtney's Cards & More and check out my stuff and feel free to contact me to place an order. I haven't been very active with all my crafts lately but hopefully I can do more next year. :)
Another goal I set for myself was to get more into photography. I love taking pictures and editing them! I'm happy to say this took off and I have been busy with doing photo shoots since October. I'm very pleased with how much business I have gotten with offering shoots this year. I have had a ton of fun doing all different kinds of shoot (Seniors, Families Kids...). I also got a Facebook page up and going for all the shoots I have done. Please check it out and let me know if anyone wants to book a shoot with me for 2012. I look forward to continuing this business and doing a ton more shoots! Photography is a big passion of mine and I look forward to see what 2012 brings my way with this.
At the beginning of 2011 I wanted to start eating better and working out on a weekly basic. I did so good at this from day one of 2011. We started getting healthier foods and I worked out almost everyday. I'm happy to say I did loss 10ibs and I was so happy about this. I had to go out and buy new pants b/c mine no longer fit and I went down 2 pant sizes. I felt so good about myself and was so proud that I worked so hard. I'm sad to say that in Sept when we went on our vacation to Mexico that the whole eating and working out routine kinda got lost. but we did have a great vacation! But, I plan to make this a goal for 2012 again. Since the holidays will be over I'm ready to get back into my workout routine and eating better!

I hope everyone has a safe New Years and if you are out please be safe! There can be some crazy people out there.

I'm planning on making a goal list for 2012 so please stay tuned to see what I want to accomplish in 2012.
